Answer: Identifying Conjugate Acids and Bases(a) What is

Chapter , Problem 2PE

(choose chapter or problem)

Consider the following equilibrium reaction:

\(\mathrm{HSO}_{4}^{-}(a q)+\mathrm{OH}^{-}(a q) \leftrightarrow \mathrm{SO}_{4}^{2-}(a q)+\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}(\mathrm{I})\)

Which substances are acting as acids in the reaction?

(a) \(\mathrm{HSO}_{4}^{-}\) and \(O H^{-}\)        (b) \(\mathrm{HSO}_{4}^{-}\) and \(H_{2} O\)     

(c) \(O H^{-}\) and \(\mathrm{SO}_{4}^{2-}\)          (d) \(\mathrm{SO}_{4}^{2-}\) and \(H_{2} O\)

(e) None of the substances are acting as acids in this reaction.
